Telco Systems introduced a consumer VoIP gateway for broadband Internet telephony services.
The new Access211 device has two ports, which support two different phone numbers that can be used for standard telephones or fax machines, an Ethernet port for connectivity to a home PC, and an uplink port to connect either to a cable-modem or DSL modem for broadband Internet access. For Quality of Service, the unit implements TOS Marking. It features variable voice compression capabilities, enabling both the end-user and the VoIP service provider to control voice quality. It also supports the 802.1 q VLAN Tagging standard, which enhances security for VoIP phone calls.
The feature set includes T.38 fax over IP, NAT (Network Address Translation) which supports multiple IP addresses under one broadband connection, and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Server for establishing dynamic IP addresses. It supports SIP, MGCP and H.323 VoIP standards.
The Access211 also provides telephone lifeline support in which an end-user can still have phone service in the event of a power failure or VoIP network failure, and supports all major custom calling features such as 3-way calling, caller ID, call waiting, call forwarding, call transfer and hold. http://www.telco.com
